McGeady said the same strategy was used against Sun. Sun had developed the Java software language. The idea was that
developers could write programs once in Java, which would sit on all kinds of different operating systems. That meant it would
not matter whether Windows or some other operating system was running underneath the Java.

So Microsoft, fearing a threat, decided to make its Java incompatible with that of Sun, McGeady said. Sun has sued Microsoft
in San Jose, Calif., alleging it violated a contract on that issue.

McGeady said the net effect of Microsoft's approach was to slow the rate of innovation. He said consumers had lost out on
competition that would have forced Microsoft to innovate at a quicker rate.
